Au départ, j'étais hésitante à choisir le menu dégustation. Je n'ai pas du tout regretté mon choix. Le serveur a accommodé le groupe pour qu'il y ait des substituts tout à fait exquis pour la végétarienne que je suis. Le mélange des saveurs est tellement précis & juste; j'aimerais pouvoir le reproduire dans ma cuisine!
L'ambiance du resto est très agréable. Le serveur nous a très bien présenté tous les plats en précisant quels arômes s'y retrouvaient. Vraiment, le mot dégustation était de mise. Aucun stress de la part du personnel. Nous avons pris notre temps!

I had been to this restaurant many years ago & decided to return for old times' saké. The hostess was very polite & professional, but the waitress was terrible! Hardly checked on us, & didn't send us off. The food was pretty good, though quite heavy on the lemon & cumin for my taste.

As far as a special place to visit in Montreal, this is on the top of the list. I have eaten at Alep a few times, & it has never been short of fabulous. The food is always marvelous, & the service is very friendly & encouraging. Our favourite way, by far, to eat here is to have the tasting menu where we all try a number of things. I always eat too much because I love it so much I never want to stop eating! Seriously, you have to eat here!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre soirée au Alep. Le service était excellent, le serveur nous a beaucoup aidé à choisir nos plats en nous expliquant en détails le menu. Le sommelier nous a également conseillé de bons vins. L'assiette végétarienne en entrée était absolument délicieuse. Le seul bémol est qu'à mon avis les portions sont trop grandes & que je déteste gaspiller.
